This document discusses two concepts for improving homeowners association boards: servant leadership and policy governance. Servant leadership was developed by Robert Greenleaf and focuses on serving others rather than seeking power. It emphasizes listening, understanding others, and helping people grow. Policy governance was created by John Carver and provides a framework for boards to define their goals and monitor progress through written policies. It separates operational and governance roles to increase accountability. Together, these approaches aim to motivate board members through service and provide organizational structure to accomplish goals efficiently.
